Time magazine's annual "100 most influential people" gala brought out a mix of public figures from rappers to presidential candidates on Tuesday (April 26). The list included Republican presidential nomination, front-runner Donald Trump and U.S. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, along with Democratic candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, in its "leaders" category. The "Time 100" bills itself as a collection of "world leaders," "great minds" and "other icons of the moment." Among the icons for 2016 are rapper Nicki Minaj, who also served as one of the night's performers, model Karlie Kloss and Formula One Driver, Lewis Hamilton who took his mother along as his date.
